    The Valuation Rolls record a certain Thomas K Govan, a clark; as one of the tenants of 49 Ardgowan Street in both 1915 and in 1920.

    Also surfaced a person in the Glasgow/Lanarkshire area called Helen Govan b.1897 whose father was called Thomas Govan. She also had a elder brother called Thomas Govan, however it's not an uncommon name.

    Anyone any good at the ancestry research stuff?

    The kiltmaker company (Peter Wilson) was fairly well known.
